Koča pod slapom Rinka - Planjava

Access to starting point:
We drive to Luče (to here from Mozirje or over Kranjski rak) and onwards towards Logarska dolina. Soon after the village of Solčava we come to a crossroads, where the road to Logarska dolina branches off to the left. We turn left towards Logarska dolina (toll payment) and drive along the road to the parking lot at Koča pod slapom Rinka, where we park.

Route description:
From the parking lot, we head onto a wide tourist path that starts gently ascending. After a good ten minutes of walking, we come out of the forest, where we reach a junction. We go left (right Orlovo gnezdo 3 minutes) in the direction of Dom na Okrešlju. The path ahead crosses a small bridge and on the other side starts ascending more steeply. After a short ascent, the path brings us below the walls, from where a crossing to the top of the waterfall follows. This part is exposed to falling rocks. The path then crosses Savinja again and further ascends along the river upwards with the help of steps. Next we ascend on the right side (left bank) of Savinja. Soon we come to the source of Savinja, where we cross the water again. On the other side, the path goes into dense forest and after a short ascent brings us to the winter shelter on Okrešlju. We continue left and in a few steps we come to Dom na Okrešlju.

At the hut we head onto the path in the direction of Kamniško sedlo and Savinjsko sedlo. Soon we come to the edge of a panoramic meadow, where there is a junction. We continue left in the direction of Kamniško sedlo on the path that first moderately ascends through the forest and then across a belt of bushes. The path then levels out completely and in a short crossing brings us to the scree, on which via a well-made path we ascend to the entry into a less demanding wall. Further with the help of numerous fixed protections we ascend one level higher, where the steepness eases somewhat, but the path is still quite steep and exposed to falling rocks. Higher the path brings us to a steep and in snow slippery-dangerous scree, which we merely cross. A short ascent follows on a wide and somewhat exposed ledge, after which the path brings us to the extensive grassy slopes of Kamniško sedlo. Just a few steps further we come to a junction, where we continue left (right Turska gora and Brana) and on a gentle path surrounded by meadows in a few minutes descend to Kamniška koča.
At the hut we head east in the direction of Planjava, to which we still have two hours of walking. The path ahead first in the upper part crosses scree and then becomes technically demanding. The path then ascends a wide ledge and brings us into the wall of Planjava. Fixed protections assist us through ledges and gullies in which there is still snow in early summer, bringing us to the summit less steep slopes of Planjava. The path ahead runs through high-alpine grasses and brings us to a junction, where we head left (right Korošica). We follow the path, which in places becomes quite steep, towards the summit of Planjava. Just a few minutes below the summit, the path from Logarska dolina and Korošica joins us from the right. The path, which from here is no longer demanding, quickly brings us to the panoramic summit.
